| Otter said: Is anyone doing this? Obviously relative to hardware and the optimization of a game, a 30fps game can do things a 60fps cannot. Like 60fps Breath of the Wild would have to sacrifice things which make it what it is. Whether thats density of the world, less interactive objects etc if it could just be 60fps without any sacrifices Nintendo would have made it 60fps lol |
I see people doing it all the time on Twitter. Just because you do not see this does not make it a non reality. I've even seen folks claim 30fps lends to greater visual clarity, yet that is not the case.
You seem to think you have to sacrifice for 60fps, when really it is the closed box that has to sacrifice, the company has to sacrifice, but not the rest of the industry, because we see things being pushed forward.
Look at BotW, a landscape that has little in terms of complexity, yet it relies on player agency and mechanics to fill that world instead and at 30fps.
DO you think Nintendo has some kind of focus on higher end hw?. No, they have abandoned such a focus since the GC era, as made evident by Sony's rising popularity and cheaper built system, and Nintendo has been doing that since, making sure that they can make bank, even if said system doesn't set the world on fire (the Wii U still made them a profit, despite it not being anywhere as popular as the Switch as one such example, and it too had it's own sacrifices to make).
I don't think some of you here truly understand the difference between what a closed box can do and what can actually be done without a closed box. You seem to be stuck near permanently in the thinking of a closed system, ignoring what is being done outside. I've noticed some of you will mention some good things being done, but "sacrifices were made" will be mentioned, yet not the sacrifices a closed and budget made box has to make, nearly 99% of it's time.
Again, I find the notion that trying to ascertain 30fps games being far more objectively complex than 60fps based games is nothing but a folly.
Mankind, in its arrogance and self-delusion, must believe they are the mirrors to God in both their image and their power. If something shatters that mirror, then it must be totally destroyed.
